Today is my last day. I have been employed for over 50 years (including summer and part-time work while in school).

I guess it is time to quit.

Retirement is going to be a big adjustment for me, as I guess it is for most. I have never taken employment for granted. That paycheck was always received with gratitude and as a measure of my value. Now I will need to pay myself.

But it is on to a new chapter, with more time for personal projects and finding opportunities to help others.

The state fair marks the end of the summer season. The weather is still warm, and the fair crowd is having a good time taking in the animals, the exhibits, the music, the arcade games, the midway, and of course the carnival food.
